When people talk about whether GR makes appreciable reference to "The
Holocaust" what precisely or even loosely is meant by the term. Because
"The Holocaust" can have narrow or more extended meanings. Probably not
everyone in the discussion is using the word in the same way. So, for
purposes of this ongoing controversy, is "The Holocaust" to be narrowly
defined as the Nazi project to exterminate European Jews, or does it
extend to the elimination of other undesired groups as well such a
communists and socialist and homosexuals and gypsies, or does it extend
still further to Nazi crimes against humanity in general, including the
working-to-death of prisoners of all varieties in pursuit of winning the
war?
